[mediacapture-region] Initial state of cloned tracks (#65)

eladalon1983 has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-region:

== Initial state of cloned tracks ==
The spec currently reads:
> `clone()`
> When a [BrowserCaptureMediaStreamTrack](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-region/#dom-browsercapturemediastreamtrack) is cloned, the user agent MUST produce a track which is initially [uncropped](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-region/#dfn-uncropped), regardless of the [crop-state](https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-region/#dfn-crop-states) of the original track.
```

Rethinking this, I don't see how that serve Web developers. The most natural thing to do when cloning is to clone as much of the state as possible - that's what a developer would expect. If a developer wishes to hand off an uncropped version of the track, they can do the following:
```js
const clonedTrack = track.clone();
await track.cropTo();
// Hand it off.
```
